Bookkeeping for small businesses and startups in the Austin area
SF Business Solutions keeps the books for small businesses and startups across the Austin area, including Austin, Pflugerville and Round Rock.
We do monthly bookkeeping, cleanup, payroll and tax preparation in QuickBooks Online or Xero, and the work runs remotely, so the service is the same wherever you are in Central Texas.
What we do for Austin businesses
Austin clients tend to come to us at a turning point: a startup raising its first round and needing clean financials, a service business that has outgrown doing the books itself, or an owner who is behind and has a deadline. We take the books over, bring them up to date and keep them current.
You keep your own QuickBooks Online or Xero account and see everything we do in it. Our Texas business address is in Pflugerville, and our team is distributed across the US and internationally, so the work runs remotely for businesses across the United States.
- Monthly bookkeeping and bank and card reconciliation
- Cleanup and catch-up when the books are behind
- Payroll, 1099s and Texas sales tax filings
- Business tax returns prepared and filed
Startups and growing companies
If you're raising money or reporting to investors, you need accrual-basis books and statements that tie out. We set up a chart of accounts that fits how you'll report, reconcile every account monthly and close each month between the 5th and 15th of the following month, depending on when your documents arrive, so your profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement are ready when your board or lender asks.
Texas taxes we keep in order
Texas has no personal or corporate income tax, but it does have a franchise tax. Most entities file an annual franchise tax report with the Texas Comptroller, due May 15, even when no tax is owed. Businesses selling taxable goods or services collect sales tax at the 6.25% state rate plus local rates of up to 2%. Employers file quarterly unemployment tax reports with the Texas Workforce Commission.
We record these correctly in your books so the filings match, and we prepare and file them as part of our tax and payroll work.
What it costs
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $250 a month. Cleanup starts at $250, and the final price depends on how far behind the books are. The monthly price depends mostly on your transaction volume, the number of bank and card accounts we reconcile, and whether you run payroll or hold inventory. Our pricing page has the full breakdown.
QuickBooks and Xero help
Our team holds the QuickBooks Online Certified ProAdvisor and QuickBooks Online Advanced certifications, and the Xero Advisor and Xero Payroll certifications. We set up new files, migrate from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online and repair files that no longer balance.
